It’s September 2020 amidst a pandemic. We decided to change course a bit this summer and carve our own path going forward. Instead of the new normal being put in front of the masses to maneuver, as a family, we chose to home school our kids and allow them a bit of freedom and peace of mind. I’m grateful that we can do this.
A simple family of four living in a small city in a big country. We don’t live an extravagant life but we choose to live. We work from home. We school from home. We adventure anywhere.
There will be mundane field trips into the ordinary yet our kids will learn how the world works, what it has to offer and how or where we can make it better. But this is not all that there will be. This is also an adventure into self and each other. There are no expectations that everything will go smoothly. It’s a given tempers will flare and tears will fall but squeezes and kisses will always be found.
Why did I choose to start this blog? It’s been sitting in the back of my head for the better part of the past five years. Because I still believe in written words. Because, I’m discovering I’m technically challenged. Do I want to remedy that? I don’t know yet. There is something to be said about ignorance and bliss in technology. An old song comes to mind about watching your kids grow and learning more than self. Aside from my rant, it’s a place to write about our adventures, what we’ll discover and maybe perhaps, anyone who reads this can learn from it too.
